New comment
 

hello everyone , I have and some help is required and im sure i wont go empty handed and thats a very simple thing to do, I am pasting the code of MACD sample EA, i only need few changes in it pls do it, ill be highly thankful to you.

I want to use fixed stoploss values,

I dont need trailing stops.

Like if i enter 150 SL and 50 TP then it should hit 150 or 50 or if i may manually close... pls help me out Thanks alot
